INDIANAPOLIS, IND. -- Butler head football coach Jeff Voris has
completed his coaching staff for the 2013 season. Voris, who
guided the Bulldogs to a co-championship in the Pioneer Football
League last season, announced the additions of Lee Rose and Tom
Dilley as assistant coaches for the upcoming campaign.

Rose, who was on the coaching staff at Charlotte Christian School
last season, will take over as assistant defensive line coach, and
he'll be involved with the Bulldogs' special teams. Dilley, a
successful high school coach in Indianapolis, will handle Butler's
tight ends.

"We have been very fortunate over the years to put together a
great staff," stated Voris, who will begin his eighth season with
the Bulldogs in the fall. "The additions of Lee Rose and Tom
Dilley this year gives us another great group that is committed to
the Butler Way.

Rose had responsibility for running backs at Charlotte Christian,
where he coached North Carolina recruit Desmond Lawrence and helped
the Knights to the 2012 NCISSA State Championship. He was a
collegiate football player at both the University of Richmond and
Indiana University, where he earned Academic All-Big Ten honors in
2011. He earned a Bachelor of Science Degree from Indiana in
2012.

"(Coach Rose) comes from a great coaching family, and he brings an
outstanding work ethic and passion for the game that will be a
solid influence on our team," noted Voris.

Dilley served as head coach at Bishop Chatard High School from
1990 to 2002 and as head coach at Lawrence North High School from
2003 to 2012. He guided Chatard to a pair of state
championships, including a 15-0 season in 2002, and he finished in
second place on the all-time wins list at Lawrence North. He
was the Nike Indiana Coach of the Year in 2001, the Indianapolis
Star Super Team Coach of the Year in 2002 and a three-time
Bloomington Herald-Times 3A Coach of the Year. He's the first
person in the history of the IHSAA football playoffs to win state
championships as a player, assistant coach and head coach.

"(Coach Dilley) has been an outstanding and well-respected head
football coach in Indianapolis for years," said Voris. "His
experience, knowledge and teaching ability will be a tremendous
benefit for our players and program."

The Bulldogs will begin fall camp for the 2013 season in August,
with the season-opener set for August 31 at South Dakota
State. Butler will play a 12-game, regular season schedule
for the first time in school history.
